Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog?
Just barely touched on here, but most newer (since the early 80’s) lp’s were mixed from digital recordings. I have done a lot of comparisons over the years. Digital recordings on lp’s have the “vinyl” sound just like those analogue sourced. Thus, ... 
What is the name of the tool?
Ampzilla with decade meters-4 orders of magnitude. VERY useful for training oneself, lower decade readings quite sensitive. I am a scientist, these things fascinate me. 
Frail and Bedazzled
Santa brought me Sennheiser HD800S’s. Paired with Woo WA6 amp and fed by Tidal/Aurender N100H/Schiit Yggdrasil GS, my vinyl does not come close. Sorry...used to think vinyl was better until I got a great DAC. This is the key for me. Too much disto... 
Are the 6 speakers from a 2001 Bose Lifestyle 20 Music System worth anything?
Kenjit, as an owner of 2 sets of ATC speakers, this comment really did show what you know and what you don’t  
For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question.
I sold Tandberg receivers in college and I would agree that they are really beautiful. Rosewood cabinet and blue lit dials.My 17 year old self was enthralled by the look of the GAS Ampzilla in Popular Electronics. I saw the real deal a few months ... 
Your shipping wrecks. USPS,FED-EX and UPS
I want to state my support for the USPS. Chronically underfunded, yet essential for so many communities. FedEx really seems lost, they used to be the gold Standard. I am impressed with UPS, they have really stepped up. Overall, most folks I have d... 
DAC's Made in the USA
I will also endorse a Schiit DAC, but don’t sell yourself short on what you have. You have good stuff! 
DAC finalist please help
I third the Schiit Yggdrasil GS. Unbelievable deal! Smokes anything near it I have heard  
The problem with Magicos
I love Magicos...too bad I can’t really afford them! But I am informed by the sound they present. Kenjit occasionally offers amusement, but little else. 
what happened to the Belles website ?????
Bet it is coming from the Ethernet connection. I have had similar ground loop issues. Amazingly, I just ameliorated it by hooking up a hdmi cable to my blu ray player from my tv; the blu ray feeds through coax signal to my Yggdrasil DAC, which is ... 
BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone?
My Bluesound Node has been bulletproof. Zero issues m very stable, control with iPhone or iPad. I also connected it with Ethernet cable. 
The Great Cartridge Shootout
I read stuff like this, and love that my Aurender/Yggdrasil/Tidal combo just works and sounds better than my records ever did. I’ve done my share of similar fiddling...one thing that was great about the high compliance cartridge + low mass tone ar... 
Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed!
I really enjoy my ATC SCM7’s in my bedroom system. Very neutral and easy to drive  
Decent preamp

8 track tape vs 1st press vinyl
I'm 63 and helped put myself through college selling stereo equipment at the Sound Machine in Charlottesville VA. My memory of 8-track is that there were no high frequencies (and I mean NONE above about 8000 hz), dynamically compressed, and just o...
